I don’t know about the UK, but in North America, this would actually invalidate the warranty for the unfortunate sap that winds up buying the system from GAME.
How so, you may ask? Well, in order to minimize loss due to theft in the shipping channel, manufacturers keep track (by serial number) of which systems are sent to which retailer.

So, let’s say you buy your console from GAME and they, in turn, bought it from Sainsbury’s. Your console RRoDs (let’s face it, your Wii isn’t going to need warranty replacement. Neither is your DS.), and you send it back to the manufacturer. Somebody in the warranty return department is actually paying attention, and they look at the sales receipt that you sent in with the console, and it says GAME at the top, but their computer says this system was shipped to Sainsbury’s. Uh-oh! Red flag!! Through no fault of your own, it appears to “the man” that you’re involved in some shady activity. Good luck with that warranty replacement - you’re gonna need it!!
So they want to give their customers choice by taking an option away and good value by selling a cheaper sold console at an higher price?
This sort of thing shouldn’t be allowed and RubyMars in the comments to this story at GoNintendo has made a good point -
Im currently working in GAME and i have to say they are absolutely ruthless. At one point the managers had a meeting and said that even though theres a credit crunch on and companys are going out of business, GAME is still making money because they dont have customers they have fans, and fans will always be around to buy games.
It is true in a way, its similar to football. We dont just buy games for the any old reason we have an actual passion for it, so there will always be a demand for computer games.
Someone brought Perfect Dark Zero for a trade in the other day guess how much we offered them for it? 20p! 20 f***ing p! Elder Scrolls Oblivion was only £5. Its now company policy on trade ins to roughly allow them a fiver off of games and then treble the price for resale.
The worst one was the Wii and Wii Fit. Our manager said that people are so desperate for them that we bundle in as much as we possibly can like extra controllers, crap games, accessories, so we can get as much profit as possible. He said packages end up coming to over £300 but it doesnt matter because someone will always buy it.
Now i have worked there i dont think i want to spend my money in there anymore. So im going to milk my employee discount as much as possible and find an independent game shop.

Thanks to the poster for flagging up HMV. I started to call my local stores at 9am this morning;
Whilst none in Redditch (only had 15 and sold in under an hour with sale assists sent to stand outside store holding one:D I then tried Merry Hill, all sold out. I was then transfered to Bullring HMV Birmingham and they reserved one for me. :j

I have just got back. At 10:30 am the salesperson advised me they had also had a biggish delivery this morning so at 10:30 am HMV Bullring Birmingham had quite a few in.

I hope this helps others, in the same way that the postings ref Sainsburys last week for the Wii and now the wii fit, mean I have the lot in less than 1 week.:beer:

I love this site:T

Thanks also for the heads up re HMV. I too got one for myself and one for a friend from the Llandudno store - they had one left. They had a temporary sign up to say they're in stock.

Managed to pick one up at Game in Bootle Strand in Liverpool this afternoon, for 69.99. I don't know how many they had in though.

Hello there I wanted a wii fit for my sons for Xmas so thought Id get in early. Tried for a couple of weeks with no joy. I eventually got one from Argos direct.

I had to order a bundle - it came with a Super Smash Bros Brawlz game, which I have a buyer for. Total cost £100 - so when Ive sold the gamed I will have paid the standard cost. BTW my son has the Super Smash Bros game & its fantastic. :j


As I said it came from Argos - checking during the day they had them (not for instore collection though) but in the evenings there were none.

Cheers
